Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito Vs Manchester United

quality first half from united. you could watch that all day even if there are no goals:drool:
 
how are we not in front? We've been pissing all over them but haven't done the all important thing and put the ball in the net. Ronaldo's been putting on a show, going past them like they're not even there, but our finishing has to get better in the second half.
 
feck, i overslept. :mad:

Can someone sum up the game for me?

Nearly got caught out in the opening minutes.

Half a dozen shots well saved by their keeper.

Very flowing football with lots of party pieces.
 
This game has been a piece of piss. LDU are a really poor outfit. I don't think ball retention is a term which translates into Ecuadorian.

We have played really, really well. The anti-Berbatov/pro-Tevez brigade will be enjoying this. In fairness, some of the link up between Tevez and Rooney has been excellent. We are playing really well all over the field, and the break through is pretty inevitable.

Patience.
 
Excellent performance so far, the goal(s) will come. Quito offer exactly zero going forward.

we need to make sure Manso doesn't get on the ball too much in the second half, their whole attacking play starts with him and goes through him. I'd hate it if we lost while completely dominating the team a la pompey in the FA cup last season.
 
This game reminds me of the past finals, South American team trying for a counter while European team dominates. It worked against the Scouse and Barca.
 
We need to shoot to the side of the keeper

We;ve had 4 shots straight at him
 
I hate to say it, but Ronaldo seems on his way back to his best (role, moving around anywhere on the pitch) with Rooney and Tevez enjoying a very good game together upfront. Berbatov is not playing. Coincidence?
 
We have to put in that extra yard of effort if we are to be crowned the Champions of the World.

Come-on United!!!
 
Ronaldo needs to improve soon, if he aims to repeat the antics of last year or even get close to it.

He's been excellent today, he's beating players like in 06/07.

No it's not.

To be fair we look a hell of a lot more threatening.

I'd like to see Rooney / Tevez start all away games and maybe keep Berbatov for the home ones where he seems to be better.
 
Ronaldo was probably MOM for the first half.

Am i expecting too much from Ronaldo then? if Messi had played similarly like ronaldo has in that first half, many would have said he was pretty decent but didn't really stand out. All i am saying is he needs to improve his game and start becoming consistent again.

TBH if Messi went past 4 player as if they didnt exist like ronnie did in the first half there would be a klinex crisis in the world
